✓ SmartRide review for KevinThis is the first time I’ve used the SmartRide app and it’s working well. The only problem is the hard braking fault is a little too touchy. I got one on the ramp for 70 at Lover exit when a truck pulled back into to slow lane and I took my foot off the gas and slowed down and one stopping at little Joeys. It didn’t seem like I did anything to get the hard braking fault. But it’s been pretty good besides that..Kevs drivingVersion: 4.0.0

✓ Great feedbackI have enjoyed getting the feedback on my driving. Sometimes though it would be nice to have a chance to provide feedback on items that appear; sometimes I get calls while driving which are hand free and done with controls on the steering wheel so they are not actually distractions..Grammy3!Version: 3.3.0

✓ Makes me want . . . .To be a better driver. I touch my phone a lot less to get a better score. I think it could show more characteristics, such as when and where the hard accelerations or brakings took place or when any speed limits were broken and by how much. There should be some way to designate that the phone was being moved and tapped for navigation purposes, not for texting or other unnecessary reading..LeadoffcfVersion: 2.1

✓ Smart ride discount programI like the fact you can maneuver vehicle and not be hit with a trip or a night ride unlike progressive discount. Same as working on vehicle, each start up doesn’t count as a trip like their program..D_murphy86Version: 3.3.0

✓ Great app for driving awarenessSo far the SmartRide app has been great. It has real brought awareness to my driving and helped me start making changes. I use hands free on my cell much more and I realize how much I used to hard brake..Blimie75Version: 3.3.0

✓ Easy to use appTurn it on in and let it run in the background! Interesting to see how many miles have been driven vs. how much idle time is spent in the car in traffic. Tracking hard braking events also flags that you may be too close to the cars in front of you, too often. One drawback there - the app doesn’t date the hard braking events to help jog your memory of the incident. Also, because it runs in the background, the status needs to be updated when you shift from driver to passenger, or use another mode of transportation. Although it’s an easy change to make, a notification/reminder to review driving status at the end of a day or week would be helpful. Especially for those who both ride-share and drive..DiscojenbVersion: 2.1

✓ Works wellThe app is easy to use and kind of fun. The only problem I had is that a few weeks in my discount went from 40% to 35%-retroactively to the beginning with no incidents or explanation as to why. No one could explain that to me. Otherwise I recommend it..CbickerscollinsVersion: 3.2.1

✓ Saving money on car insuranceIt’s kind of strange having my mileage monitored. I think my driving record should be taken into consideration. I’m still shopping for a cheaper insurance. I haven’t driven 600 miles in the past year. My premium needs to be reduced further. The rates might have a lot to do with paying high commission to an agent. Just another hand in my pocket..Kini10Version: 2.1

✓ New kind of app for me (and that’s a good thing)This app is easy to use and now there’s finally an app to help me save money! Knowing the app is recording my driving, I may even be a little more careful when im driving..BlbTexasVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Worth ItVery user-friendly. Easy to label trips where you are not the driver. Nice to be able to track discount weekly and see your driving metrics, including phone distractions even though they don’t impact the discount..Sls508Version: 3.2.1

✓ I really appreciate this App! It helps make me a better driver!I was a little apprehensive at first hearing that it would somehow invade my privacy. On the contrary, it has helped me to be much more mindful of how I drive. I am more careful about distractions. I use my cruise control to keep my speed within the limit wherever I’m driving and on the humorous side, there is a friendly competition between my husband and myself, as to which one of us is the safer driver! In all seriousness, this is a very useful tool to help me be a safer driver, and the discount is definitely a plus!.Dg60sVersion: 3.3.0

✓ WiFiI ride as a passenger with my son all the time and turn my WiFi off and the ap is constantly asking me to turn my ap on all the time. Where I work I have my WiFi off and it’s once again always asking me to turn it on. I feel like it is my car and I feel like I should be in charge of when I’m driving having my app on and it makes me so upset that a lot of the times I forget to turn on my Wi-Fi because the app should not be in charge of me..Angela PateVersion: 4.0.0

✓ Stephen KappThe program makes you aware of how much you travel needlessly and you make hold off on things you don’t need and make a list to get them later. Saves on gas consumption, makes you aware that needless travel can be cut out. Hopefully in the end it will also help get a nice discount on my bill..Steve kappVersion: 2.1

✓ Phone DistractionsI believe it is recoding a phone distraction even when pulled off to the side of the road and stopped. Also many times quick stops are due to traffic or traffic light changes. Many lights have cameras and short yellows. I am always on guard. Otherwise I think the app is a good tool. Thank you..Road TraveledVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Very easy and intuitive app.I’m an insurance broker and can say I like Nationwide’s SmartRide program better than all the others. No surcharge, only benefits. And it’s not that strict. I drive pretty much the same as usual. Just don’t drive like a maniac and you’ll be ok..Mayor711Version: 3.3.0

✓ Good app. Seems accurate.Good app seems accurate. The one thing I would request is an option to go on standby for 5 days. The options are 3 or 7 now. I drive a company vehicle Monday through Friday. I only drive my personal vehicle on the weekend. So I have to either go on standby twice during the week, or remember to turn it off on Friday evening..Cruz voter.Version: 3.3.0

✓ Smart rideEasy to use. I just forget to turn off the app when I’m with my wife and it appears to duplicate the trips Also if she is the passenger and uses her phone it automatically adds distractions on her app.WHM57Version: 3.3.0

✓ Surprisingly Good AppBefore using the app I would have guessed this would be a 1-2 star rating but the app is very well designed. I’m not the biggest fan of the scoring parameters but I recognize that the insurance statistics nerds come up with those models so I can’t complain. You have to relax and understand that no system like this can work perfectly but that given enough time any anomalies will be drowned out in the sheer volume of data. It looks great for an insurance company app and it works exactly as advertised. Good job app team 👍🏻.UserX123Version: 3.3.0

✓ Smart Drive RatingI like the smart drive so because it quick view of how my driving after each trip. I like the tips it gives on how to improve my driving,.Glorious KathyVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Lack of functionalityBefore iOS update was perfect working. After iOS 15 the functionality doesn’t work properly and I tried email support but haven’t hear anything back. That need to fix the issues..Shastorm1Version: 2.1

✓ Great Idea for safe driving.I love your SmartRide program. I’m always looking for ways to be an be extra careful driver. I also know things do happen and it is a percentage. I always want to raise my percentages as high as I can. No one wins in a accident. I use a lot of my semi truck schooling every day I get behind the wheel of any vehicle. It is my wish that find a ways to remind drivers that not just the driver, but the passengers are at risk also. One idea is: Observe how drivers use their turn signals incorrectly! I see 85 to 90%!!! Many passengers are at risk because of this action. Teach proper turn signals use. If a vehicle driver would observe, recognize, and use their turn signals like a School Bus Driver, our roads will be much safer..CleangameVersion: 2.1

✓ What is average based off of?Never tried a car app like this so no comparison, but it was accurate and quick. I wish it told you how it came up w the average. I don’t see why my average is as low as it is, especially when I have no night time driving, long distance driving, or quick stops..EarthySummittVersion: 3.2.1

✓ RetiredThis app is helping me to become a better driver. I also like the fact that phone distractions are noted but not a part of the premium discount program. I only touch my phone when absolutely necessary for Navigation etc..Situate Ma Driver WGMVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Thumbs upThis app is superior to other driving apps as it allows to correctly describe your driving pattern by giving more options to select from. I believe this more accurately qualifies one’s driving performance. Thank you..Drvr 1Version: 3.2.1

✓ Fun, easy to use and who doesn’t like saving money!What a great app - I’m saving money and learning how to be a better driver! Insanely accurate, very easy to navigate, and the registration process was smooth! I need not hit the brakes so hard but hey it’s a work in progress. I also like that I can go back and review my trips. 5 out of 5 for sure - highly recommend!.Messh711Version: 1.0

✓ A little big brother but decent discountI did not download this app because I wanted to but because my insurance would give me a substantial discount if I made the grade. It has been easy for me. I am a relatively careful driver. I have indeed received the discount. 26% off of $250 a month isn’t bad. Supposedly I can get a higher discount as time goes on. I’m not sure how high it goes. It has been interesting to see my driving patterns. There are a couple of annoying things about the program, but I won’t go into them here. They’re not huge..ManecjVersion: 4.0.0

✓ Amazing!I was always skeptical about car insurance companies tracking my every move. But it’s not like that. I was worried being a passenger would count against me but nationwide has the best app ever they recognize whether you’re driving or not I’ve saved 24% on my policy. I would highly suggest to anyone to use the smart drive app. And besides this app, Nationwide has the best agents ever. Last time I called the lady was so sweet. She spent over an hour going over the details of my policy with me and was able to add even more benefits to my policy I was unaware of. I’ve had several other major insurance carriers, NATIONWIDE really is the best. Thank you Nationwide for recognizing the drivers in the world that are accident and ticket free..Jp45150Version: 3.3.0

✓ Works wellThis app works better than I expected. I had no issues. Anytime my phone connects to my car Bluetooth, it knows I’m driving and when it’s not, it knows I’m in someone else’s car riding. Really easy!.Friendly TeacherVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Easy to useThe app is very easy to use. At first I had to learn how to use it but after a day or two it was just like 2nd nature to me. App really saves you money on your nationwide car insurance. I’m currently sitting at a 29% discount currently. The highest savings is 30%. So far I can’t complain about the app at all..JUSTJAY1982Version: 3.2.1

✓ YupAfter driving professionally for 12 years, I’ve always consider myself a safe and cautious driver. Having this app on my phone for the last two months, assures me that I am still a safe and courteous driver..YcbdudeVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Review for serviceI am new to area where I’m living & sometimes in order to get route I have to touch phone if light is blaring the screen or if phone has moved. Otherwise it all works well..I 2 I 4 $Version: 3.3.0

✓ Not quite perfectI pulled off the road and parked the car so that I could make a handheld call legally and safely. The app flagged it anyway. It’s a good thing that NationWide doesn’t penalize for phone distractions yet, because it failed to detect that the car was not in motion during the call. This is at odds with its ability to detect hard braking, which I believe to be accurate and fair based on the couple of times I’ve been flagged for that..WbundrickVersion: 3.3.0

✓ None ComplaintThis app no longer works on my iPhone. I’ve tried everything but it doesn’t preform anymore. What are my options. Did a reboot, worked great. Definitely keeps you on your toes. Great reminder for not answering your phone while driving. Really enjoyed it..Envr101Version: 3.3.0
